TfL Cyber Attack: Hacked by Known Criminals Flowers and Jubair

In September 2024, Flowers and Jubair, known members of the Scattered Spider cyber-crime collective, were linked to a cyber-attack on Transport for London (TfL) that began on August 31. Flowers was already on police radar, initially caught for low-level cyber-crime shortly after turning 16. Authorities seized multiple devices during his arrest and discovered cryptocurrency holdings valued in millions. Jubair, with 22 prior convictions, received a Youth Rehabilitation Order in 2023 for offenses tied to the Lapsus$ hacking group, including targeting Nvidia and BT/EE.
